Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is one of the primary vector control interventions for reducing and interrupting malaria transmission. In recent years, however, it has received relatively little attention. Just like it is the case in the 17 villages of the Chipushi area of Mpika district in Muchinga province, Zambia. In community work, among the things that attracted my attention are the non-acceptance and perceived negative attitudes towards acceptance for indoor residual spraying. The purpose of this study was to analyze and establish the factors that contribute to none acceptance for Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) in the Chipushi area of Mpika, Zambia. None acceptance, in this case, refers to a widespread negative response to having indoor residual spraying performed in people’s homes at the community level. Simple random sampling was used to come up with the study population. And after executing the study through the questionnaire and semi-structured interviews on the 97 respondents, findings revealed that 12 (12.4%) respondents believed that chemicals used in IRS increase mosquitoes and bed bugs instead of controlling them. Other 22 (22.7%) never believed IRS could reduce the incidence of malaria. 18 (18.6%) respondents avoided being in-convenience by the spray operators and health personnel. 10 (10.3%) respondents don’t want to be seen how wrecked their houses are or fear of being embarrassed due to lack of sanity in their homes. Similarly, 17 (17.5%) respondents believed that by the culture, they could not allow strangers to expose their privacy in their homes. Surprisingly 26 (26.8%) respondents never just wanted to participate in spray operations. Keywords: Community, Households, Indoor Residual Spraying, Malaria elimination, Prevention.

The unhygienic environment of the hospital will allow the transmission of diseases that can affect public health in that hospital.  Therefore, hospital sanitation services need to be organized in order to create a comfortable and clean hospital environment, so that it can support efforts to cure and prevent the transmission of nosocomial infections in the hospital environment.  The purpose of this study was to determine the number of germs on the inpatient bed of District Madani Hospital of Palu.  The method of this study used descriptive with observational approach. The study population was all inpatient beds in Melon, Jambu, Rambutan, Nangka, Semangka, dan Markisa treatment rooms at Madani Regional Hospital of Palu.  The sample of this study was a part of the impatient bed in rooms of Melon 10, Jambu 10, Rambutan 10, Rambutan 9,  Semangka 7, and Markisa 4, which were taken by simple random sampling.  The results showed that the number of germs did not meet the requirements of> 10 colonies / cm².  So it can be concluded that the number of germs on the inpatient bed of the treatment room at the Palu Madani Regional Hospital does not meet the requirements.

Background: Medical education is full of burden and pressure, so that medical students are prone to get depressive disorder and anxiety disorder. These have been proven by several researches conducted in the faculties of medicine from abroad as well as in Indonesia. Medical students, either preclinical or clinical, need to face many obstacles, but clinical students have more demands than preclinical students and they are directly responsible for patient safety. The more demands of the clinical students made them prone to have more depressive and anxiety disorder.Method: This research was conducted as a cross-sectional study on 200 students on Atma Jaya Medicine Faculty by choosing 100 pre-clinical and clinical students with simple random sampling. Data were collected with structured interviews by using MINI ICD-10 instrument to determine the depressive and anxiety disorder.Results: There were significant differences between the proportion of depressive disorder and anxiety disorder among preclinical and clinical students in FKUAJ 2015 (p = 0.044 and p = 0.048). The proportion of depressive disorder and anxiety disorder in clinical students are higher than preclinical students (29% vs. 17% and 38% vs. 25%).Conclusions: Clinical students are more prone to get depressive disorder 1,99 times and anxiety disorder 1,84 times than preclinical students FKUAJ year 2015

Farmer institutionalization, farmer socio-economic condition and simultaneous application of technology have a positive effect on the success of coffee farming in Rancakalong Subdistrict, but when compared to the influence of all variables, the Farmer Institution has a smaller effect. While the cause of the influence of X2 is higher than X1, because the dynamics of farmer groups are common everywhere and at any time and are usually more directly related to how to improve farming yields so that the interaction is stronger. Considering the various limitations in this study, it needs to be followed up more broadly and deeply, so that it can provide more comprehensive benefits and look at other factors that influence the success of coffee farming.

Purpose:  The purpose of the study was to establish the effect of determinants of access to microcredit on financial performance of retailing SMEs in Wajir County, Kenya.Methodology: The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The target population comprised of all the 5000 retailing small and medium enterprises in Wajir County where the units of analysis were the SME owners. The study used stratified random sampling and simple random sampling technique to come up with the sample. The target population was stratified into 6 strata (the 6 sub-counties in Wajir County). Further, random sampling was used to select 146 SMEs from each sub-county. The study used primary data which was largely quantitative and descriptive in nature. The questionnaires were self-administered with the help of two research assistants. The data analysis was undertaken using SPSS Version 20 where the statistics generated included descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.Results: The study findings revealed that savings, meeting the eligibility criterion, loan structuring and some socio economic characteristics positively and significantly affected the financial performance of SMEs in Wajir County.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: the study recommended that SMEs should take the initiative to increase the amount they saved so that they could increase their borrowing capacity. The study also recommended that SME owners needed to take the initiative of ensuring that they were all the time able to meet the necessary requirements needed for obtaining loans especially their documentation, business and repayment plans and aim at ensuring that they acquired the necessary collateral. It was further recommended that MFIs needed to ensure that the loan structure presented to SMEs were favorable. The study also recommended that it was necessary for SMEs to expand/grow their asset base so as to increase the ability to repay the loans. They also needed to expand their networks especially within the financial institutions circles so that they could increase the trust the MFIs had on them and for easy considerations for loans.

Dental caries is the most important dental health problem in developing countries. The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of dental caries in primary dentition among under 5 years children. A simple random sampling method was used. Study population was under 5 children attending dental department of Khulna Medical College Hospital from January to June 2010. A total of 672 children were examined. The prevalence of dental caries was 44.34%. Caries prevalence was higher in the boys than the girls and it was statistically significant (P <0.05). It was also found that primary second molars were the highest carious tooth. The prevalence of dental caries among under 5 children was high. There is a need to generate awareness about oral health and the prevention of dental caries. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bmjk.v43i1-2.13015 Bang Med J (Khulna) 2010; 43: 7-9
